The Azara's agouti is a medium-sized rodent with long legs and a short tail. It lives in the forests of South America and feeds mainly on fruits and seeds.
The Azara's agouti differs from other rodents with its long legs and ability to jump far. It is important for the forest because it disperses and buries plant seeds, helping them germinate in new places.
